IRB Update

Our group received feedback from IRB for our IRB application. They suggested a few updates and our team will apply those suggestions and submit them for approval by the end of the week. Once final approval is granted we can start our structured interviews and surveys with physicians.

We began a process of analyzing the features and content of other online health sites and case studies sites. We will be compiling the data and using it to determine which features should be developed on Casepedia.

We have contacted a few physician ethicists regarding the process of posting real medical cases online. There were some differing opinions so we will be meeting with them over the next week to discuss the process in-depth.

We started discussing the platform and what features we wanted Casepedia to have. Some of the features we discussed is enabling users to blog, upload content, and review and comment on other cases. We also thought it would be very useful for users to have search results that included results from Pub Med to also be displayed along with the results from our site.
